Mechanical adaptations Laboratory is seeking motivated individuals to design experimental apparatus that will fly to the International Space Station on Earth’s Orbit. This project focuses on developing tissue-engineering technologies to study bone mechanical environments. These findings will ultimately help improve clinical outcomes related to unloading related bone-loss in astronauts, aged individuals with osteoporosis.
Students will work with other team members to gain expertise in state-of-the-art technology, including finite element modeling, 3D printing of biological materials, biomechanical testing, microscopy, bioreactor technology and cell culture. Our team is working with a professional engineering firm to implement the orbit modules. This will be a perfect opportunity to gain experience on working with professionals towards a high importance deliverable.
Excellent candidates will currently be at least a sophomore in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Material Science) and Science (Physics, Biological Sciences, Chemistry) that are hardworking, well organized with a positive work attitude.
